Beautiful 1965 Ford F-100 pick-up truck. Much work has been done and many new parts installed. Have receipts for all the work done and for all the parts purchased. This used to be a manual transmission truck but was converted to automatic. Rebuilt Ford truck transmission installed professionally with all the modifications needed. Very nice and expensive job. The previous owner painted the truck. Nice paint job still shines and looks good. New front and rear bumpers were installed. I installed new carpet and found the original solid floor pans. New seat cover and new foam also installed. NOS AM radio works but weak in volume for some reason. New dash bezel also installed with new glove box liner. Also a new original type head liner installed as well and sunvisors, mirror and new attaching pieces.
Original steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. Original hubcaps were put on and new tires with 10 miles on them were installed. New brakes and new shocks were installed. The bottom was all sanded down. Suspension parts were painted and the rest was undercoated.
The engine bay was sanded to bare metal and then primered and painted. All the parts on top of the engine were replaced such as spark plugs, wires, Pertronix electronic ignition, new carburator, new water pump, hoses, radiator, belts, battery tray, starter solenoid, battery tray. In addition the two engine wiring harnesses were replaced with brand new ones. The front to the rear wiring harness was also replaced with a new one.
The engine is a 353 2-bbl carb with manual choke. Starts right up and drives well. This is a very nice truck that has most of the work already done to it so it is in turn key and drive condition. The gauges all work but on occasion the speedometer needle sticks now and then. I have a new cable but have not put it in yet. A minor fix.
The truck is a long bed and a Ford C-6 transmission was installed. Truck also comes with a new custom fitted weather proof cover.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk
Wed, Jan 14 2015Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
Highlights and standouts from the 2015 LA Auto Show
Thu, Nov 19 2015This year's LA Auto Show has been packed with interesting debuts and fascinating industry trends. The Autoblog team is on the scene to examine all the new metal, and Senior Editor Greg Migliore has some show highlights for us in the video above.

The Civic Coupe is a striking redesign of an extremely popular and important model for the company. And the restyled Ford Escape looks more like its bigger brother, the Explorer. There's this an much more in our video above. Watch it and let us know what you think – and look for more LA Auto Show coverage coming soon.
